How PureVPN Identity Threat Protection Works

Identity theft often starts with personal information already circulating online, but Identity Threat Protection can help you find it sooner and respond before bigger problems arise.

Once you add your details, PureVPN monitors them for exposure on the dark web and alerts you when a match is found, including what information was involved and what to do next. 

If records linked to you are found on data broker and people-search sites, you can authorize removal requests and easily  track their progress through an intuitive dashboard.

Who Is PureVPN Identity Threat Protection For?

PureVPN Identity Threat Protection is useful for people whose work, business, or public presence puts more personal information online, as well as anyone who wants tighter control over where that data appears.

  • Remote Workers
  • Small Business
  • Public-Facing
  • Privacy-Conscious
Remote Workers and Freelancers

Remote Workers and Freelancers

Client portals, payment tools, cloud apps, and public profiles are central to how you work. If those details surface online, attackers have more ways to target your accounts, clients, and income.

Small Business Owners

Small Business Owners

Business registrations, supplier accounts, and online directories often connect company information with personal details, which gives scammers more material for targeted phishing attempts.

Public-Facing Professionals

Public-Facing Professionals

Journalists, consultants, creators, and executives are easier to research online. Exposed contact details, addresses, or identity records give scammers and harassers more material to work with.

Privacy-Conscious Users

Privacy-Conscious Users

You do not need to wait for fraud before caring where your data ends up. Monitoring dark web exposure and removing broker records helps reduce how much of your identity remains in circulation.
